The US Border Patrol agents union has endorsed the bipartisan Senate proposed border act. Let’s listen when the people who do this for a living tell us it will work:

Elon has a God complex because he has a lot of money and people treat him like he's a God.

Maybe let's not treat wealthy people like Gods.

ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS.

ESPECIALLY in democratic governance.

People with power were not held accountable for their involvement in 1/6.

And here we are.

Saw Oppenheimer tonight. Saw four trailers for movies featuring EXPLODING BOMBS.

I mean…just because I was seeing that movie doesn’t mean I’m a bomb fan. Sheesh.

AK Governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders declared the AP African American history class "part of a propaganda leftist agenda."

It's not propaganda.
It's not leftist.
It's what happened.
It's the past.
It's the present.
It's part of us.

It doesn't teach you to hate America.
It helps you understand it.

1/ I want to make a point that I've made before. This indictment -- like the January 6th hearings -- is vitally important, for a variety of reasons.

One of them?

The simple fact that it draws a clear line in the sand. It clearly states that a line was crossed on January 6.

3/ DJT is innocent until proven guilty.

It's vitally important to remember that.

He's entitled to a fair trial, as is any American charged with a crime.

The simple fact that DJT is subject to the rule of law is vitally important in upholding the process of democratic governance.

2/ I realize that it seems ridiculous to have to say this.

But without a formal trial by a jury of DJT's peers -- without a simple demonstration that political power-holders are legally accountable for what they do with that power -- we are inviting more of the same.

""I could sense which moments he *thought* would be big moments—mic-drop moments, nuke-exploding moments—but most of them, for me, either didn’t go far enough or missed the mark completely. Unlike in real life, the bomb didn’t go off."

So, according to Kevin McCarthy, who’s beholden to his party’s extremists, better to torpedo defense funding and endanger national security than let the military get away with “wokism” and turning into “Disneyland.” Hard to overstate what an assault on real governance this culture war nonsense is.

Reporters and pundits need to retire the phrase "voting wars." Expanding voting access is not partaking in a "war." The only war is the one *against* democracy by Republicans and their allies. This is not a "both sides" story, so please do not suggest it is.

As POTUS said. "Every day, we have to make the choice. Every day, we must summon the strength to stand for what is right, to stand for what is true, to stand for freedom, to stand together."

HC_Richardson is always good, but tonight she destroys originsmalism and ends w a quote about Robt Bork by Ted Kennedy 35+ years ago that presciently foretells what has happened.

“Why do journalists covering the biggest story of their career—the attempted overthrow of democracy—want to treat it like routine politics?..It’s as if they're covering the flood of the century & want to save it for the regularly scheduled weather report.”

When you hear the sycophants' laughter in that despicable tape, remember all the other enablers who've helped make this nightmare possible these last six years.

For me, the most shocking revelation in this excellent reporting is the brazen refusal of the FBI to cooperate in investigating as requested by DOJ -- though the DOJ higher ups were certainly not helping the line prosecutors. When I was at DOJ, FBI worked collaboratively with us.
